The Hanwei Practical Pro Elite Katana delivers performance-focused craftsmanship with a traditional edge. Designed for serious practitioners of Japanese sword arts, this katana combines modern steel technology with timeless aesthetics. Forged from 1566 spring steel, the 29-inch blade features a satin finish and excellent flex and resilience, ideal for heavy cutting practice. It’s tough, reliable, and purpose-built to handle repeated use without sacrificing sharpness or structural integrity.

This full tang fixed blade is .20 inches thick at the spine, providing a strong yet agile profile that balances power with precision. The blade geometry is optimized for smooth, clean cuts, and the spring steel construction ensures durability even under rigorous conditions. Whether you're training in the dojo or cutting through rolled tatami, this katana is engineered to perform.

The handle is wrapped in black Japanese cotton over genuine rayskin, giving it a traditional, secure grip that feels right in the hands. The combination of texture and tight wrapping ensures control during high-speed draw and strike movements. The handle is framed by polished brass fittings that add contrast and detail without being overdone.

A blackened steel Kuruma tsuba serves as both a handguard and a visual focal point. Its wheel-like design symbolizes motion and strength, reinforcing the katana's role as both a tool of discipline and an extension of the swordsman's will. At 44 inches overall and weighing 2 pounds, 13 ounces, the Practical Pro Elite has the size and heft to satisfy experienced users while remaining responsive and well-balanced.

The black lacquered wooden scabbard completes the package, offering a sleek and protective sheath that complements the blade's understated design. Whether displayed or put to work, this katana is built for those who train with purpose and expect their gear to meet the same standard. Order it today from SMKW!
